Hi Mr. Ian Thank you also for your information, ya the workmanship is naive style and locally done for it's own use.

I see if copper was not common that time, there might be a chance it was made specially by someone. unlike iron very common during that time.

Ya i also have a feeling this might be from 18th C to 19 C dagger or latest is early 20th C, because of the workmanship and patina.
